Labor Day Weekend: Meal Plans and Favorite Recipes

Looking for Labor Day weekend meal plans and favorite recipes? I can’t even believe it’s the end of summer, and time to start planning for Labor Day weekend is here already! If you need meal planning ideas for your Labor Day picnic or backyard barbecue, I’ve got lots of recipes that should help you out. Say good-bye to summer remembering all the fun you’ve had, and encourage your children by making more sweet family memories this weekend.

Appetizers

Appetizers for my Labor Day weekend are always going to include the spicy flavors I love. You’ll recognize some of my go-to favorites below, including these Black Bean Nachos.

Black Bean Nachos

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Creamy Cucumber Dip

Easy Salsa Fresca

Tomato and Basil Bruschetta

Main Courses

Main courses for your Labor Day bash need to be easy, to keep you out of the kitchen and in the hub of celebration with your family and friends. I’ll be using the grill, so that I don’t miss out on any of the fun going on outdoors. Another option that will keep your hands-on cook time to a minimum is using your slow cooker.

Fajitas

Marinated Pork Tenderloin

Sides

Sides for any outdoor Labor Day picnic or party need to keep in mind the heat and wait time that the food will be sitting out. Make plans to take along a cooler with cold packs and extra ice so your cold dishes can stay cold until it’s time to serve them.

Desserts

Desserts for this all-American holiday can be as traditional as a homemade apple pie. (Not nearly as hard as you think!) You can also keep it super simple with ice cream topped with fresh berries (in season and on sale), or an easy fruit cobbler.
